Absolutely right. I was amazed and pleased to see this on the list. Usually nothing older than a year or two makes the cut for these things. It's nice to see they still remember the classics once in a while.

Tori no Uta is one of the all time great anime OPs, but honestly, the insert song Aozora ("Blue Skies") is FAR more moving (of course, that has a lot to do with the scene it plays during). I defy anyone to maintain dry eyes through it.

Didn't like Tori no Uta, the intro was like the greatest thing ever and then it turns to meh music :/ It kept changing to different melodies that really didn't fit with each other. Would be nice if they stuck to the first melody.

Aozora was definitely better because it didn't have an identity crisis like Tori no Uta :P

Thank YOU for taking the words out of my mouth!!
Air is STILL the only one of two anime that ripped the MAN-TEARS out of my face!! And that song pushed me over that emotional cliff! I guess the poll takers should have been more specific, but NONE of these songs really made me feel anything compared to "Blue Skies".

Some of them, such as Tenshi ni Fureta yo or Chiisana te no hira are tied to specific emotional scenes in their respective works, thus counting for "moving". Though this makes you question whether it's the song that's moving or the association with the scene. I'd say it's the latter, since if you played these things to someone who did not know the anime in question, they would not have the same experience.

On the other hand, most of the OPs and EDs have one thing in common: they differ vastly from the overall tone of the main work. For example, Ika Musume is mostly comedy, but the ending sounds very sad. Same is true for the ED of Fruits Basket. I think these songs have a higher justification for being "moving songs" rather than "moving scenes".

Then of course, there are those works that combine both. Examples would be Ano Hana and Angel Beats. Personally I think these songs are what I would consider "moving" in the best sense of the word. Mostly because the assoation with the scenes is what separates anime songs from regular songs.

And obviously, since it's a poll, popularity is going to play a pretty hefty role. So really, complaining that the ridiculously popular K-On tops the chart or that we're missing some older works is a bit of a weird thing to do.
